View 4 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Bash Script - Make Sure All Files Have Certain Permissions
Jan 14, 2011How can I iterate over all the files in the current directory to check for certain permissions? This is what I have:
Code: #!/bin/bash
for file in *.tar.gz
do if [ -r "$file" ]
then echo "$file is readable"
else echo "$file is NOT readable"
fi done
But this only checks that the current user has read permissions for each file. I want to check that the group "others" has read permissions for each file. How can I do this? Is there a built in function to check if a file has read permissions for the "others" group? Otherwise, I thought I might be able to use this:
Code: $ stat --format=%a file
744 And parse the output "744" and make sure the 3rd number is between 4 and 7 (since the octals 4-7 have read permissions for others).
Software :: Bash Script Calling Make Files With CFLAGS Prepended?
Feb 6, 2010Most all of this works when I execute it manually, but I cannot figure out how to get a bash script to execute it automatically.In this particular case, I am trying to build the xorg utilities. If I manually step through the process, prepending the commands with CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc, all of the packages build.So I created a bash script, test.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

General :: 'make Menuconfig' To Make These Files Modules Rather Than Compiled Elements?
Feb 25, 2011I need to modify fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c to make my modifications. I cannot find any options in 'make menuconfig' to make these files modules rather than compiled elements. I'm thinking these cannot be modules because the file system won't work without open.c and read_write.c. Is this correct - I cannot compile fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c as modules, only as compiled elements? Or, is there some way for a module to overwrite these routines when the module is installed and re-enable the routines when the module is removed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Making A Bash Script To Read In Different Files And Rename Output Files?
May 7, 2009Until now i haven't had to dabble with bash scripts.
I have a program that reads in data files. These are named datafile01_R, datafile01_G, datafile01_B, they then increment, so datafile02_R etc i have about 600 of these. the program reads in 3 data sets at a time from each run, so files_01 r, g, and b.
The program then does its magic, and outputs about 40 different files, depending on the file, they gone to folders named R, G, B, psa, or tracking.
The program itself has configuration files to say where the files should gone when analyzed, there is also the config files that reads in the data sets.
At the moment i have to run one set of data, then go in and manually change the input file location, and run again. But, doing this, even though a different data set, the new set overwrites the old set in one of the output folders. So i need a way to increment the output filenames after they are written and before the program is run again with the new data set.
Ubuntu :: Bash: How To Make ${var%% *} Work

Software :: Make Craig's List Ad Notifier In Bash?
Jan 7, 2010I have OpenSuSE 11.2, and I am learning Bash scripting. I was wondering how I would make a bash program, That I could have it check multiple craigslist sites [western mass, worcester mass, etc], e.g. in the Free category, and/or enter keywords, and have it update every 5 minutes, and then post the results somewhere, to a file, or even upload it to a server, or if it's even possible? (Kind of like the program "Ad Notifier for Craigslist") Would I have to do this in C/C++? If it has to be done in C/C++ It would have to be windows compatible preferably.

Programming :: Bash : How To Make Firefox Open But Minimize
May 3, 2011I am relatively new to scripting, but I was wanting to open a firefox window from a bash script, but have it open, then minimize. In the script, I have a single instance of: firefox & but is there a way to minimize it, versus have it displayed on the screen? I was wanting the command terminal to remain visible and it can't since the firefox window is open in front of it. I looked all over the place, including the man pages, but to no avail. I can make the height and width changes, but no minimize. Either that, or to be able to bring the terminal window back to the front automatically.

Programming :: Make A Flawless Bash Alarm Script
Jan 12, 2011I am not positive that this is the right subforum for this post. It is technically a programming question but I am not sure if this is the best place for bash scripting questions. Anyhow, I have been having trouble getting up in the morning. I am a pretty good morning person and once I am up, I am good to go. The problem is getting out of bed. Traditional alarms have just not cut it in the past; there is always an easy way to shut them off and go back to sleep.
Recentliesh, I decided to try to make an alarm script in bash that would be more successful in getting my lazy behind out of bed. I am a newbie bash scripter at best so my attempts have been very simple but have not cut it so far. Here are some examples:
[Code]....
The above script was the version of my bash alarm. It will not stop ringing until I input that ridiculous phrase. The big issue with this script was that I would input the phrase quickly and go back to sleep. It was however, much more successful than traditional alarm clocks. Another obvious pitfall was that even though control-c'ing the process would not work, the terminal could be closed and that would be the end of it. I'll get back to that issue. Here is my second attempt:

General :: Make A Bash Script That Automatically Delete The Home Folders?
Feb 15, 2011I am administrating a lab in a university and every semester we need to delete all the home folders of the accounts for the next semester. I would like to make a bash script that does this automatically and having trouble with it. Note that I am writing my very first bash script. What I need to do is make a script to delete the following:
Delete everything in /home/$exp$num/$dir
when "exp" could be either "rt", "ic" or "sp".
"num" could run from 1(single digit) to 45 and dir is "profile" and "work".
This is what I tried to write:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home
for exp in "rt ic sp"
do
[code]....
What seems to be the problem is the reading of "$exp$num" as a joint expression.
Programming :: Bash - Ps - Psgrep And Read /proc/$pid Make Script Exit
Mar 22, 2011I have not been able to write bash to use a PID file to ensure no other instance of the same script is running! All three methods I can think of to see if the PID in the PID file is another instance of the script make the script exit with a return code of 1 but the same commands run at the command prompt work as expected.
The first attempt was:
Code:
The first attempted workaround was:

Ubuntu :: Renaming Files Through Bash
Feb 10, 2011I'm trying to rename ~11000 files. What has happened is I have files in the following format:
string1_100_string2_200_string3_300.log
now the numbers 200 and 300 are sometimes below 100 and the file looks like this:

and I want to rename such files to be like this:
string1_100_string2_099_string3_099.log
